I-PACE EV400 vs Bmw 840i xDrive: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 840i xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.81 s versus 4.84 s for the I-PACE EV400. Despite lacking instant torque, 333 hp of power compensates. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 840i xDrive is doing 142 km/h against 141 km/h for the I-PACE EV400. The gap is 0.05 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 840i xDrive crosses the line in 13.05 s versus 13.18 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 840i xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 192 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 840i xDrive finishes in 23.65 s versus 24.36 s, with a 0.71 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the I-PACE EV400 is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw 840i xDrive at 250 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.37 seconds. The 0.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Jaguar I-PACE EV400 is slightly faster than the Bmw 840i xDrive to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
